In this episode of The Being Herd podcast we have a returning guest with us! Maureen Rogers, a leading pioneer in the field of Equine CranioSacral. Founder of Equine CranioSacral Workshops, Equine CranioSacral TV, and Posture vs Confirmation Myths Unveiled. Together we explore the conversation of one big word: COMPENSATION. Maureen explains how, generally speaking in the industry, Horses' bodies are continually working from a compensated frame until recognised and given an opportunity to heal. We discuss the effects of these compensatory patterns, what Horses need post treatment, and how the earlier years in a horse's life are fundamental for foundational development which leads to balance, stability, and overall wellbeing. And what happens when that foundation is compromised. Maureen teaches Equine CranioSacral internationally as well as hosting online assessment classes and seminars for her students.

In this episode of The Being Herd Podcast we welcome the wonderful Cassandra Ogier. Founder of The Reflective Horse® and a pioneer in equine-guided experiences with wild and domestic free-roaming horses, Cassandra is the creator of Equine Guided Empowerment®, Somatic Reprogramming®, and Somatic Riding®. Cassandra’s work lives in the space in between, the place of pure potential and embodied knowing where the herd is the guide, presence is a lived practice, and relationship is the pathway to embodied sovereignty. Cassandra is based in Pasa Robles, CA.  In this conversation Cassandra and I explore the waves of potential which present themselves to us when we remember our embodiment, ground into our knowing, and experience our power. Cassandra shares how the horses she shares her life with are beautiful examples of what it means to be a safe vessel of expression. Once again we witness, through this conversation, how integral our lives with horses are and what our roles can be in supporting the shift into a higher level of consciousness across the planet.  Thank you for listening!

This week on the Being Herd Podcast we have two guests with us! Zoha Jung and Carina Maiwald. Zoha is the founder of The Backwater Sanctuary, a non-profit rehabilitation and rescue sanctuary based in Kabini, India. Zoha's drive and passion for equine / animal welfare is an inspiration. Her commitment to creating a safe space for animals to be who they are, and to ultimately thrive is a testament to her core values and belief in the possibility and magic of healing. She is also my cousin so I feel very grateful to have a member of my family on the pod! Carina is a multi award winning Equine Photographer, healer, and inspiration as well. To me she embodies truth, courage, intuition, and presence in one of the most profound ways I have seen to date. Her passion for sharing the truth of the horses she is photographing instills a sense of deep magic into the framework of her purpose. She is also passionate about capturing and sharing the beauty of the journey horses go through in their healing. Together Zoha and Carina are forces of nature. In this episode we hear them give their perspectives on what it is like to share the stories of equines who are healing to an audience who primarily values pleasing aesthetics. We also discuss equine sensitivity and the magical, synchronistic healing journey of Hector who Carina recently worked with at the Sanctuary.

Rachel shares her views on animals as a mirror for our evolution and we also have a chat with her amazing canine companion Darcy!

May this episode be a reminder to all of us that the feedback of life is all around us, all we need to 'do' is BE and LISTEN. Thank you Rachel & Darcy! And thank you for listening.

In this episode I am joined by bodyworker and healer Laura Shakeshaft. Laura is a multi-faceted practitioner who utilises her wide range of modalities to help bring balance, harmony, rhythm, and safety to horses and humans. Based in South Wales Laura has been treating my herd of horses since their move in October 2024. I have been very impressed with Laura's expanse of knowledge and experience which is why I asked her to join us on the podcast. In this episode Laura and I discuss her less well known modality - Amnanda. Amnanda is an Ayurvedic treatment combining the use of specific oil combinations, very light hands on touch, mantra, and intention. Treatments span over a period of 12 months with monthly sessions enabling the body to settle into the framework over a consistent period of time. Amnanda stems from an ancient Tibetan lineage and is a highly effective and encouraging approach to sustainable healing. Laura and I also touch on the power of cultivating safety, horses' innate healing intelligence within the body, and what is means to get out our own way when it comes to being a practitioner. As of today, Laura is the only practitioner working with animals in Europe. She is running courses in South Wales and other areas of the UK throughout the year. Thank you for listening!

Angela from Equine Elevation returns for another round with us! In this episode Angela and I explore the beautiful topic of sacred partnership between horse and human. Angela's newly co-created container 'The Art of Sacred Partnership' is a major centrepiece of this episode. She shares with us a little bit about her journey with her incredible mare Dido, and how much inspiration, growth, and revelation can come from showing up in devotion to a greater picture. Angela's commitment to the unknown, to throwing her hands up and saying ' show me another way ' is as inspirational as it is profound, choosing to surrender time and time again to the art of sacred partnership, regardless of whether she knew it or not at the time is the medicine which has brought this container, and episode to us today.
